Little and large: two performance Fords hit LA

Another classic feature from the last 20 years of TG mag: can a 'world car' work for passionate performance sub-brands?

The figures aren't the point, though, because where the Shelby Mustang experience is dominated by that mountain of an engine, the Fiesta ST is all about the chassis. It's brilliant. It's incredibly keen to turn, and precise when it does, attacking a corner with surprisingly rapid - if slightly numb - steering. It feels light, and flat, and four-square. Intensely... European.
